With Better Than Ezra currently on tour to help promote its just-released third major label album, "How Does Your Garden Grow?," the band is hoping to reprise the success of its 1995 record, "Deluxe," which spawned a pair of alternative hits, "Good" and "Rosealia."

The band is also hoping that the new album and the new year will bring an end to its long-running legal dispute with Ezra's original drummer -- who played on "Deluxe" -- Cary Bonnecaze.

Better Than Ezra has been embroiled in a series of lawsuits with Bonnecaze since he left the group in 1996 in what was then referred to "as an amicable parting." Studio drummer Travis Aaron McNabb was then tapped to replace Bonnecaze for the group's last record, "Friction Baby," and since then Better Than Ezra and Bonnecaze have been swapping suits and counter-suits regarding his departure in New Orleans courthouses for the past year.

The trio spoke with MTV News recently about the on-going lawsuits, which BTE's management

also declined to discuss, and while the members shied away from discussing particular aspects about the pending suits, the band did express its desire to have everything resolved with Bonnecaze soon.
